Hi Gary,can you please provide more details, and in particular which version of Java you're using. Java5 for example is shipped with an embedded xerces (see [1] for details), so these detail really matters. These sort of problems are in fact typical of conflicting version of XML parsing libraries
I'm running Cocoon
2.1.7. eXist was throwing warnings about Xerces and Xalan version so I put
these jars from eXist in the Tomcat endorsed directory:
xalan-2.7.0.jar
xercesImpl.jar
Everything works
untila form is opened when a Xerces exception occurs:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
